    Deliciously bad!

    A truly wonderfully bad film. A perfect blend of inane story line, paper thin characters, awful comic relief, and, most important of all, absolutely atrocious production values. Watch closely to see the "creatures" wearing tennis shoes, dressed in black tights from the waist down, flaunting exposed zippers down their backs, and more! A rollicking good time for fans of really bad sci-fi flicks. Keep the remote in hand and your fingers close to the rewind and slo-mo buttons!

    Awful, yet in a funny way

    I confess I love 50's & 60's B flicks. But I think in some ways the ones from the 60's were way more out there in both concept and sheer silliness. Take this movie. The monsters look like bad Halloween costumes falling apart. The goofs are too much to list. It looks like it was filmed in someone's back yard. It seems more effort was used to make the actress' hair stand a foot in the air than the entire monster costume budget. ( I love 60's hair by the way.)But it's funny in a super campy, cutsy way. Unlike most vintage B-flicks which can be boring through out much of the duration. Eye creatures has sort of a Ed Wood-esque level of entertainment. I highly recommend it to someone who loves old campy horror movies. But not to someone who doesn't know how to laugh at a movie such as this one.

    By the way this is one of my all time favorite MST300 episodes.

    they really didn't care

    I happened to see the mst3k version of this flick, and at one point in the show,the bots and Joel come on with a skit called "they just didn't care",which showed off some of the many glaring errors of the director(of which there was a plethora,many of which even they failed to mention).but the most glaring error of all is the entire supposition of the plot.A group of aliens possessing interstellar travel come to a planet where the light of it's star is instantly fatal to them.But,they forget to bring any protective equipment,even something as simple as a space suit or sun screen.Also, their "flying saucer" was destroyed with a blowtorch.How did such stupid creatures manage to discover interstellar travel.Next to this idiotic idea the rest of the story is just anticlimax.Who cares that the acting is horrid,the effects deplorable,the plot sequence unfollowable,the comedy unlaughable,the costuming unbelievable,and the movie basically just unwatchable. But, like the bots on mst said they just didn't care. consequently,we don't care either. but if its any consolation,the mst3k version is pretty entertaining.

    I laughed, I cried, (I cried for my sanity)

    A wonderfully bad film, also one of the best MSTK 3000 episodes. The homosexual, colorful dress wearing crook, the goofy cops, the night that's actually a sunny day, the crazy gun carrying redneck, the eye creatures, some of which have very visible zippers, are only wearing part of the costume, or others who are wearing running shoes along with the costume...it's stupidity for everyone.

    More like boily, bumpy, kind of bored creatures

    Y' know, this movie is really funny. Oh, it lies there with cheaply made productions like MANOS, MONSTER A GO GO, etc., but I really think it was meant to be crappy and funny. For example, I'm sure it's really easy to sneak out of a police station with the convenient side exit!! Oh, plus, the creatures themselves (YAWN) look like they were made in someone's garage with styrofoam and cans of spray paint. The particularly naked alien in a black clothing just tickled. So, for laffs and to see how "they just didn't care", watch this one.

    • Trivia
      Originally titled "The Eye Creatures," the studio decided to rename the film "Attack of the Eye Creatures." However, when the title card was re-done to add "Attack of the" and then re-shot to edit it into the film, it was discovered that an additional "the" had been added, thus making the film's title "Attack of the The Eye Creatures."
    • Goofs
      On some prints of this film, the title is the grammatically incorrect: "Attack Of The The Eye Creatures."

      [two Army men peep in on a couple necking in car using an infrared scanner]

      Culver: Oh, I truly admire science.

      Lt. Robertson: All right, Sergeant, what's up?

      Sergeant: Nothing sir. Just testing the infrared equipment.

      Lt. Robertson: That means you were playing peeping tom again, right?

      Culver: Right, sir.

      Lt. Robertson: Culver, how many times have you been busted for pulling shenanigans just like that?

      Culver: You mean this year, sir?

      Lt. Robertson: Altogether!

      Culver: Three times, sir.

      Lt. Robertson: We're here for a reason. A reason important to the national security and

      Lt. Robertson: don't ever forget it!

      Culver: No, sir.

      Sergeant: No, sir.

      Lt. Robertson: We're here to watch the skies and not the skylines.

      Culver: Right, sir!

      Sergeant: Are you ever so right, sir!

      Lt. Robertson: Bad things are going on up there, right?

      Culver: Uh, right.

      Sergeant: Right. What kind of things, sir?

      Lt. Robertson: Never you mind. You're here to watch the sky and not the skyline. RIGHT?

      Culver: Oh, boy, are you ever right, sir!

      Sergeant: Right, sir!

      Lt. Robertson: Now that that's established, let's take a look and see how the infrared scanner is working.
